‘Dao’, a risky and experimental bet on family and Africa, wins at Seminci

The film 'Dao' by Alain Gomis won the 71st Seminci, blending documentary and fiction. The awards ceremony was altered due to a train accident, with winners announced during a morning reading. Gomis's work explores migration and identity through a narrative that intertwines personal stories and cultural rituals. Other notable winners included 'La Gradiva' and 'Un hombre de nuestro tiempo', showcasing diverse themes and strong performances. The festival also served as a tribute to its late director, José Luis Cienfuegos, emphasizing artistic freedom amidst political challenges.
